SIGCHI Finland proudly presents:
UX SIG on UX Measurability

Tuesday 18.10. 9:30-12
Design Factory in Otaniemi, Betonimiehenkuja 5c, Espoo
Free of charge, but please register by Tuesday 11.10.

User experience (UX) is a vague and multifaceted concept that is hard to evaluate reliably. However, you cannot improve what you cannot measure. This event discusses the state of the art of measuring UX, especially the measures (mittarit) of UX. We have a special guest star, Effie Law, so the event will be in English.
